@xshibe_dogex tweeted, ‘I just binged like 5 episodes tonight and you have no idea how much love is clearly put into this s**t. It’s immaculate.’
The fan added in another tweet, ‘I feel like more than “Hey look, it’s the thing from the thing you like!” The writers actually get the ethos of Fallout and understand what the original intention of the setting was.’
@LoganVOA1 also praised, ‘It’s incredible. This might be the most faithful adaptation of anything that’s ever been made.’
@porfenablah added, ‘everything down to the stimpack noise, it’s insane.’
@Bhaal_Spawn tweeted, ‘It’s true. Fallout is everything you could ever want it to be.’
@SullyStreams added, ‘As someone who lists Fallout as their favorite video game franchise ever, I am happy to report the first two episodes of the Amazon Prime series were an absolute slam dunk for me. Action, sci-fi, and comedy at every turn. If you’re on the fence like I was, give this one a look!’
Collider’s Steve ‘Frosty’ Weintraub added, ‘have seen all of #Fallout Season 1 on @PrimeVideo and it’s awesome. I’d be shocked if Amazon doesn’t renew the series because everything about this show works from the interesting characters to the world both inside and outside the vaults. HUGE recommend.’

@joeytainment added, ‘I’m the kind of Fallout fan that spent the 2000s reading design documents of old canceled Fallout games because I just loved the world and the lore so much. With that in mind, the Amazon Fallout series absolutely nailed it. It freaking rules and I want it to go for 100 seasons!’
@scaringsampod added, ‘Fallout exceeded all expectations! Amazon needs to commission a second season asap. Better yet, throw as much money at it as you did for Rings of Power, because it earned it!’

The series is set in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, within the world of the Fallout video game series which will be part of the canon of the games.
The story takes place two-hundred years after the apocalypse, where, ‘the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.’
